In this paper a performance measuring infrastructure,developed for the prototype and simulator, concering the experiment configuration, data measurement, and data collection, is presented. A corresponding performance evaluation framework is defined to obtain the metrics from the measured data....

The deliverable refers to the tasks related to performance evaluation of the CATNETS projectin year 2. In Table 1 the character of this work is illustrated and set into context. In the firstyear of the project a theoretical metrics framework was devised as basis for the evaluation ofthe...

Die Arbeit beschreibt die Spezifikation und das Design von Softwarekomponenten, um das Konzept der Katallaxie in Grid Systemen umzusetzen. Eine Einführung ordnet das Konzept der Katallaxie in bestehende Grid Taxonomien ein und stellt grundlegende Komponenten vor. Anschließend werden diese...

In this paper a metrics framework for evaluating different scenarios in the CATNETS project is defined. The aim is to use this framework to compare the catallactic scenario against the central auctioneer.

This paper presents the final activity report of the CATNETS project. It summarizes the project objectives, the contractors involved, the work performed and the final results. A description of the dissemination activities concludes the report.

In this report the progress of developing the proof-of-concept application in the CATNETS project is presented. Hence the development of the necessary performance measuring components as well as a distributed application to execute on economic-enhanced Grid/P2P platforms and middleware...

This article examines the broker's behavior with regard to a varying number of participating nodes and shows that incremental losses have to be accepted in central resource allocation when introducing new nodes.

Considerable efforts have been made developing software architectures which allowclients to obtain service “on demand”. The service-oriented architecture (SOA) based onweb service technologies provides a fundamental concept for this purpose, and is oftenadopted in current Grid implementation...

The Grid Market Middleware (GMM) design, implementation and early evaluation have beenthoroughly described in previous deliverables. Development in core GMM components (agenthosting, group communication, metric collection) has been frozen since Year 2, oncerequirements have been met. For this...

Future Grid network technology will face the problem of the efficient provisioning ofservices to clients by a scalable and dynamic resource allocation (matching) mechanism.The objective of CATNETS is to determine the applicability of a decentralizedeconomic self-organization mechanism for...
